BMW is celebrating their heritage with a new livery M3 honoring the German beer and food festival Oktoberfest.

Along with celebrating their national heritage they are also paying homage to their automotive past, designing the new performance sedan after the fondly memorialized M1 that made apppearances in the early 1980s.

The new M3 comes in time for Oktoberfest and pays homage to the M1s of old.

BMW fans have fond nostalgia for the M1, which premiered in 1979 and was around until the late 1980s.
